This firsthand account of a 1948 journey to a treacherous valley in
northern India in search of a mysterious creature is both a classic
travel adventure and a graphic record of an amazing expedition. The
book chronicles the group's movement into a remote valley in Assam,
where the inhabitants had only recently given up headhunting, on a
quest for the Buru--an elusive, monstrous reptile well documented
by those native to the area. The Buru, like the Yeti, Bigfoot, and
the Loch Ness monster, has captured the imagination of adventurers
around the world, and remains a popular subject of
cryptozoology--the study of animals yet to be discovered by
science. Recalled in vivid detail are treks through hazardous
swamplands filled with cobras and leeches, and campaigns through
perilous jungles where thumbnail-sized ticks and wild boar are
indigenous, all in the hunt for the legendary saurian.
